It really wasn't there fault, their guide shoved them out and they were pushed sideways by the wave before the one I tried to ride in and they really didn't know how to paddle. Luckily I didn't lose anything. Tested out all of my waterproofing and rigging.

Bummer.. looks like you lost your hat. Hopefully nothing else, I hope?
I watched it a few times, and I still can't see what happened. Did you get turned sideways? I know at the end your yak is turned around facing out.. but that was after you righted your boat. Just trying to learn... Glad you're ok. Thanks for sharing.. |

My hat stayed on by the chinstrap around my neck, luckily. I turned to my right to avoid them and and ended up parallel to the wave. Then furiously tried to correct back towards shore when i lost balance and rolled.

Dude, that sucks. At least no one was hurt. After a long day of fishing that landing can be stressful. Between the tour groups, solo renters, knuckle heads that think its a swimming area, and rental gear snorklers that think its a snorkeling area landing can feel like threading a needle. Having to time the waves as you time the inside can take a while to get a shot. I land a long ass unmanuverable and heavy hobie adventure there, good times. Mike
